Testimonials

EZ Way Inc.

Congratulations to you and to the staff of The Walden Group on a job very well done.

From the beginning of our relationship your firm has maintained the highest ethical standards. You did a first class job in analyzing and understanding our company. You had a thorough understanding of the regulatory issues, of the macro trends in the industry and of the economics of our customer base all of which were so important to the presentation of our company and to our growth plans. You then produced documentation that presented us in a very fair manner while emphasizing our strengths and potential.

You managed the process of contacting potential acquires in a manner that all but dazzled the imagination and resulted in many firms expressing an interest in pursing a transaction with us. This gave us a choice of acquirers on terms that were most acceptable to all our shareholders.

When we came toward the end of the process your transactional advice and your negotiating skills were superb.

I assure you that any future transaction we pursue in the healthcare field, will find us represented by The Walden Group. Please feel free to use us as a reference for any potential clients.

On behalf of my Business Development Team associates at BD Preanalytical Systems, thanks to you and your staff for your thorough efforts in attempting to identify new business opportunities for BD PAS. As you know, we considered several external consulting and investment banking firms prior to selecting The Walden Group as our project partner. The level of professional and personal interaction and communication between our respective companies demonstrated to us that we made the right choice in selecting The Walden Group.

Diebold, Inc.

Just a word of thanks for your expert and steady hand keeping the two Diebold business unit divestitures on track and in place. The Walden Group developed interest from large specialized distributors all over the world, many of which were unknown to us, and we were very satisfied that no ‘stone was left unturned’.

Our transactions were intricate, involving physical assets, multi-level software, complex intellectual property right issues, and arrangements for manufacturing and servicing. At times, negotiations with some parties were tensioned-filled. Yet, The Walden Group added sage advice and sophisticated guidance to navigate the deals to the most appropriate buyer and help obtain the most advantageous pricing and terms.

We regard your firm not only as a business relationship, but also as friends, and are most grateful for your assistance in this endeavor.

Disetronic Holding AG (Switzerland)

We cannot begin to thank you for the relentless effort The Walden Group applied to divesting our contract manufacturing business. You left no stone unturned.

At first, the difficulty involved sorting out the numerous offers you procured and synchronized. When the first deal fell through a week before closing, you kept us on track, kept morale high, and in record time arranged for five more offers. The ultimate buyer closed within 4 weeks of your first contacting them, and you skillfully orchestrated all bidders to proceed to a final contract without an exclusive review period. Your advice for our team to pay close attention to the buyer’s post-closing integration plan was instrumental in eliminating closing risk the second time around. And your participation in the legal and due diligence process — working closely with our attorneys and even drafting portions of the documents — cut out so many delays.

The Walden Group performed at the highest professional levels under the incredible time pressure we asked you to operate under. You passed the test in Olympic form and we are extremely grateful.

Phoenix Health Care Products, LLC

Just a note to thank you for the accomplished and professional manner in which you arranged the sale of Phoenix Health Care Products.

I recognize that our customer base and requirement for a real estate solution posed some significant challenges – not to mention an unexpected environmental problem and a foreign acquirer.

We were all impressed with your knowledge of the industry as well as your tenacious pursuit of our objective. Of course, I would be glad to speak to any of your potential clients regarding my experiences working with the Walden Group.

I hope we have the opportunity to work together again.
